With Titanium Backup you can just freeze (not remove) the apps you don't use. Below is an article on rooting, etc. Go to "After Rooting (Optional)" > Setion 2: "Bloatware - The Ugly!" and see which apps you can/cannot freeze. This should help with the the apps you don't want and/or use. I've been running myn's Warm 2.2 RLS 5 for quite some time without any problems doing just this. I say give this a try and see if it works for you. I hope this helps.

[Captivate General] xZeDgEx:
I have an unlocked Rogers Captivate currently running 2.1 (JL2). I am trying to update to 2.2 with Kies. I have tried the newest version and also 1.53. Kies recognizes the phone however it will not update, it says "This version of the device cannot be updated".

:mad:

I have searched for this but have found nothing that has helped me.
[Captivate General] Seanbest:
Try using a different USB port, I tried using the ports on the front of my PC, no go, moved it to the rear ports and it worked.
[Captivate General] xZeDgEx:
No change.

This is what I get.
[Captivate General] ddangerdess:
Maybe try unrooting your phone with "one click lag fix" from the market and try again.
[Captivate General] xZeDgEx:
Its not rooted.
[Captivate General] sofia-captivate:
Search aio toolkit in forum and follow the direction and find the Rogers 2.2 file in here and flash it.
[Captivate General] PaullikesWINMO:
Try it on a different computer. I tried mine on three different machines and the third one worked. WIN 7 with i3 chipset.

I tell you it was frustrating ! So keep trying ... it will work!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
That will not get him the OEM version. First flash 2 weeks ago and already giving expert advice?:D
[Captivate General] jackjack078:
Yes, you really have to try different computers, different USB port and cable. I have tried 4 PC, and got it upgraded on laptop running win 7 32 bits. Good luck
[Captivate General] xZeDgEx:
Were you getting the same message in Kies?
[Captivate General] nzahorchak:
The problem isn't Kies, as it's connecting and reading your device just fine. The problem is the firmware build on the device that Kies can't update. If you want 2.2, you can get it by flashing the one in my sig.
[Captivate General] jackjack078:
Yup, I got it saying I already have the latest ones, got it updating and stopped it self with error or it doesn't even detect my phone. Until I used win7 32bits laptop, and luckily got it upgraded. But honestly, I'm so disappointed with the stock froyo. After upgrading, it was slower than eclair in general, including UI, games and everthing. Especially worst is the browser speed. I couldnt even scroll on big contents sites, like phonearena.com or pocketnow.com. cuz of the flash. I bet even u successfully update it, you would wanna flash a custom rom to gain more speed or battery. Just like the same path i went through.
[Captivate General] xZeDgEx:
Why would this be though? If 2.2 is available and my phone is on an older firmware why would it not offer the update? Thats just messed up.

Anyway I did find the Rogers 2.2 update and flashed with ODIN, it was pretty easy. Does your stock ROM have all the Rogers crap removed?

I had similar experience with 2.2 on my Vibrant. I found by turning plugins to "on demand" made browsing much better. Although the Captivate is far less laggy than the Vibrant, it runs much smoother to me.
[Captivate General] nzahorchak:
If you flashed to 2.1, there's a chance that something is preventing Kies from reading it as true stock firmware. A setting or file could be missing. My ROM doesn't have anything added or removed, that would defeat the purpose of a stock ROM made for warranty purposes. Rogers didn't add much and if you don't want the few apps they did add, they're easy enough to remove with TiBu.
[Captivate General] clemmie:
Go into your registry and delete any entries for KIES. Then reinstall the driver package from Samsung. It will work then.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] the14thgod:
All the forums don't really point to a good solution, lots of unanswered questions so I was just wondering if anyone has had any success yet with this?

I have 2 auxiliary and a 3.5 jack. I just bought a car and am looking for a viable solution. I just want to play music through the speakers. (I thought I had usb somewhere..but can't seem to find it yet).

Also has anyone tried just a external drive with mp3's on it? that would be ideal..

I've found these on amazon:

[Droid Incredible Accessories] savagebunny:
In theory, playing through the 3.5mm jack from the phone > In-dash reciever would be the best.

Although, my buddy has a iTouch, and plays through USB and its sounds nice on his Infinity Kappas and Polks.

Don't use the FM Transmitter, never good results imo
[Droid Incredible Accessories] the14thgod:
Ya I tried playing earlier through it and for some reason it kept skipping/stopping/playing. it was weird... I'm not sure i want to buy the car dock/charger if I can't get the music to play through. I didn't try a different player though, just the stock app.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] TeH PLAYA:
i just use a cassette that has a wire sticking out of it and plug that into the headphone jack. works perfect. works on phone calls too.

for you, just get an aux wire that's 3.5mm male on both ends, that should work.

poor man's bluetooth. lol.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] the14thgod:
Ya I'm not sure what's up with it. It just worked today, but didn't work so well the other day. I'll probably just get a used mp3 player and store it in the car, hidden of course. It has a power outlet next to the hidden aux jack, so that's convenient.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] white2kss:
You could always get an FM tuner that plugs into the lighter. I do hear that quality is not the best going that route.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jes7er:
I have an FM transmitter because my car doesn't have a tape player. It works OK, sometimes its a little bad quality but it gets the job done. If you have a tape player definitely just get the cassette adapter to 3.5mm
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rcicu:
Hello,

I have tried using the headphone jack to my line in on my head-unit. I have to use a groundloop isolator to clean up the signal interference from my alternator and the speakerphone part works okay.

I have and use this most of the time Jabra Cruiser It is very clear and for music and phone. When playing mp3s it also transmits the RDS info to the head-unit.

One of my buddies uses this GOgroove Flexsmart X2 and has great success using the Bluetooth to FM.

Both are great BT to FM devices.

Take care,
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kevinbakon08:
The hard wired 3.5 or aux inputs are your best bet for sound quality
[Droid Incredible Accessories] elixir911911:
I know at this point my reply may be a little late....I don't know too much about dev but I can keep my head afloat with car audio ^.^ so considering your available options, 3.5 to 3.5 will be your best option for sound quality, followed closely by an auxiliary to 3.5 cable. FM transmitters are never a good way to go. This is attributed to the amount of signal loss that occurs when the sound is turned into electromagnetic waves to be transferred. Plus FM opens the door for a lot of outside interference. I personally don't know if incredible are capable of doing usb output for sound, and I understand that you don't have a usb input, but this is by far the best way to go. You can pick up a stereo with usb input for cheap, and they're very easy to install. If you're smart enough to keep up with some if the discussions on xda, I'm sure you can match up some wire colors! ;) minimal signal loss occurs when using usb, much less than even the loss due to 3.5-3.5. If you ever have an extra 50-100 bucks, grab a usb stereo and slap it in. Always the best way to go. And to the question about a straight drive with mp3's, that method would be pretty much identical to usb input. Now, if your vehicle still has its stock speakers and you haven't put any aftermarket parts in it, you probably won't notice the difference between usb and 3.5. If you have done work and have put even a small amount of work into your speakers, you will definitely notice it. Sorry for the ramble figured I'd try to give you a solid answer :) if you wanna know anything else feel free to pm me. And for those of you that stuck in there on this rant, kudos.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] mtown_cyclone:
There's some good suggestions in this thread

I bought a Clarion CZ500 and the Bluetooth streaming works great. I also tried to connect my DInc to the USB port but it could not find my music. My guess is that it gets confused because two drives show up when you plug a DInc into USB.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
Hello all,

From my personal experience I have learned a thing or two about car stereos and external media sources.

If there is only an input for "external" or Cd changer" (RCA) do the following.

1. Get yourself one of these

(plug#1)

2. Don't buy a Ground Loop Isolator, they're bulky and IMO a waste of money. Instead get a cable that has the nose reducing feature built into it. I highly recommend the following pictured cable. I personally use it on a daily basis.

(Plug#2)

3. Plug the RCA male ends into the rear of your stereo.

4a. Connect plug #1 &#2 into the end's of each other.

Note: Plug#2 has the noise filter closer to one end than the other. You'll want to plug the short end into plug#1.

4b. Use electrical tape to secure the connection between 1&2.

5. Run plug#2 towards the front of the dash.

6. Enjoy a MP4 copy of a movie or some music.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] elixir911911:
@dmadrid98....out of curiosity, why would you want to use multiple plugs when you can buy simple noise reducing rca to 3.5 plugs? Doesn't make much sense to add in yet another joint for signal loss
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Truckin'Ain't4Sissies:
Good point, I was just stating what my preference was because I use the same audio cable in my Semi-Truck & Personal Vehicle.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Chuck-D:
IMO best bet is to get a iPod ready Head unit that can control an ipod and an iPOD hook em all up you can crontrol your music stright from your head unit and sound output is as good as the recording.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] tony5104:
All this makes me so glad I bought a Bt enabled car stereo, with the seperate

input setting for phone and media.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] rotaryboots:
My phone gets used a lot in the car for its media. My setup consists of my phone charger, a simple 3.5 male/male audio cord, and sometimes I put it in my car cradle. Can't get better than a direct audio out from the phone, to aux in on the stereo.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] red rage:
The hard wired 3.5 is your best bet
[Droid Incredible Accessories] thumper26:
Been addressing this myself. For simplest integration, 3.5mm to aux input on your factory radio is the best/easiest way to go.

If your car doesn't have an aux input, there is a company named PAC that makes auxiliary inputs for most factory radios. It allows 3.5mm or rca inputs.

With the Incredible, you can use the tv-out cable to the rca's, but you'll need to short the connection on the video rca to enable tv-out on the incredible. (Provided how you mount it) you have a single plug charge and play solution.

I'm working on an implementation of this in my car, and have confirmed the tv-out works, just got to get the dock fabbed and mounted.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] hazell222:
I recently put in a new stereo in my car. Sony MEX-BT3900U. Absolutely love this stereo!! I can pair it with bluetooth, stream my Pandora, and when I get a phone call, it mutes the audio (even when on tuner) and with a push of a button I can answer the call and start talking. It's like having a high end car with the hands free. :) Best purchase ever!
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nate2830:
I have a Pioneer head unit that has direct Ipod connection through auxillary inputs on the back, it's a USB connection that can either use the Ipods special USB or as I found out today, the USB that comes with our phones. It's able to access all the music on the phone (internal or SD)......I can't seem to get it to recognize playlists like I can my Ipod and the track listing is a little odd, but the audio quality is very good and it's a good option I think if you don't mind not having playlists.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] fadepoint89:
If you have tape deck just get the tape transmitter otherwise buy yourself a nice FM transmitter.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] firewater88:
I have a Kenwood receiver with iPod control. I would leave the iPod in the truck all the time and it killed the battery on my touch. after replacing the battery ( very scary) i don't keep it in there anymore. I now use a cheap USB micro SD reader and have several cards i can swap out anytime. Kenwood has a USB playlist program that creates a playlist of the files on the card( or flash drive)

For dinc I use the3.5 aux jack into the radio. Good quality sound.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] razor2006:
+1 to using a male-to-male cable and plugging straight from the headphone jack to a line in on a head unit.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] carngeX:
My Pioneer head unit has a USB cable on the back of it, so I just load up an 8GB flash drive that I have with music, and plug it in. Best audio quality ever since all my mp3's are 320kbps and replaced my stock speakers with Infinity Kappa 4x6's in the front, and Rockford Punch 6x9's in the rear. Transferred the HU and speakers between both cars I've owned so far.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
Anyone know what this command will do?

*#272*imei#
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
You can change your world region. When you do it, your tab will factory reset and wipe everything.
[Galaxy Tab General] Landroid:
where do you know this code from?

btw: u can alter the code by simply navigating (with a file manager that knows root) to /system/csc and edit.the salescode.dat to what you want, reboot and you have the new region without data loss :)
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
That is true and doing that will change what is available to you in the samsung apps, and I am sure other things too.

CWP, XEU, KOR (they have to be upper case letters) are a few to play with.
[Galaxy Tab General] StarLog:
I saw the code in the phone thread for SGT, thanks for the list. I will issue a thanks when i get home
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
These are for all phones, so some won't work with the tab.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Discuss and inform, what is your favorite WP7 device thusfar. I have posted my opinions on the WP7 devices I've been fortunate enough to own thusfar. Feel free to add your input.

HTC Surround- Honestly the only WP7 device that I flat out dislike. The touchscreen is dodgy, the gimmick speaker is pointless, the device is bulky, it feels like a 1990's cellphone in your pocket, and it just feels cheap. The phone's only redeeming feature is the OS.

LG Quantum- My initial impression of this device was poor but after getting used to the keyboard there's not much to complain about on the device. The screen is a bit smaller than I'd like and a little washed out but LG's OEM specific apps make the device a keeper.

Samsung Focus- Before I tried the DVP this felt like the posterboy for WP7. The device is a little lighter than I would have liked but aside from that it worked astoundingly, apps load fast, sound is crystal clear, the SAMOLED display does amazing things with the homescreen on a dark theme, it's just generally a beautiful device.

HTC HD7- My first WP7 device and I thought it was great til I tried the Focus and the DVP, after using one of the higher quality devices the phones faults shine through from the milky whites to the slow loading apps all the way to the little errors that only some of the HTC devices seem to have despite the OS apparently being the same across all platforms.

Dell Venue Pro- Ahh, my baby, don't let the fact that there are some complaints about a number of the devices scare you off from this phone because it is without a doubt the best WP7 device released stateside. The AMOLED display has better whites than the SAMOLED and is just as good when it comes to darks. It just feels right in your hand from the ergonomic curvature to the laser-etched backing. This phone screams quality. My only complaint is the camera... I don't know why they put such a terrible camera on an otherwise flawless device, I can at times take clear pictures but with the slightest movement my pictures turn out looking more like modern art...

Samsung Omnia 7-

LG Optimus 7

HTC Mozart

HTC Trophy

HTC 7 Pro (Arrive)- I really want to like this device but it just feels extremely last-gen (Yes I know our processors are old blah blah blah) It's bulky, the spring mechanism feels ready to break nearly every time you slide it up, it's gut it's fair share of issues but overall it's usable though I fear for the spring. The keyboard is amazing on it and if you were a fan of the TP2 I whole-heartedly suggest this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Voted for the HD7. The screen size was excellent and had a very nice image.
[Windows Phone 7 General] taruian:
wat bout htc mozart? :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Hasn't been released where I'm at yet. I've only had about 5 minutes experience with the device but all in all I'm not impressed with HTC's line-up as a whole.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paperclips:
Focus now, HD7S later.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pasp1001:
optimus 7... mmmm
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
Omnia 7 based on speed of memory and the most professional looking (IMO).

The DVP is great looking as well, but I couldn't wait around for it to be released.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I like the form-factor of my Focus a lot. I voted for that, on that basis alone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drbuns:
In the US you really only have a choice of the Samsung Focus or HTC HD7 as arguably the best WP7 handsets and even then they're exclusive to a carrier. Europe definitely got the better phones!
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Eh... DVP was 1000 times better than HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] drbuns:
You could definitely make an argument for the DVP. I feel the delays, hardware issues, and lack of availability sort of ruined it - for me at least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Eh, I'm talking comparing one of each side by side, you can definitely tell which is better based on the phone itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tejazz:
I am obviously biased because I own the device, but I voted LG Optimus 7 due to the following reasons:

-- Fastest WP7 phone because of the type of (16GB) memory it uses

-- Cheapest WP7 phone in the market when I bought it

-- Longest lasting WP7 phone with a 1500mAh battery

-- Hardware buttons ensure you don't accidentally press them

-- Excellent build quality, with an easy-to-remove metal back-cover

-- Gorilla Glass - mine survived a fall from 5.5 feet
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Must agree here, I also have it.

I add

-- Hardware main WP7 buttons

Main minus, from the device point of view, like the only one:

Worse camera performance in difficult/dark light conditions (sharpness, colour is fine though)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ryude:
I really love the Focus, but it's just my personal opinion.
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
Agreed on the Optimus 7 - it is built like a tank. Only complaint is the screen is a little blah compared to SAMOLED, but no surprise there. The hardware buttons are a big plus IMHO. Focus second. DVP is too big / heavy unless you really need a keyboard.

[Windows Phone 7 General] itsedstech:
Hd7 for me too, it might not be built out of the most amazing material or have the most vibrant screen, but this phone is straight up beautiful, the silver grills on the front really make it look nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crsnwby:
you might as well have asked what phone do you have?.... close this pointless thread.
[Windows Phone 7 General] crsnwby:
Precicely my point, this thread is which phone do you have.

In all honesty, I agree. I thought that there might be unbiased opinion but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Really? Unbiased opinion in a thread entitled "your favorite WP7 device"? I'd like some of what you're smoking.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AverageCanadian:
So the screen on my phone wouldn't turn on this morning. I then noticed the screen is slightly broken in the bottom corner.

I highly doubt I'm going to bother wasting money trying to fix it. Perhaps I might pick up somebody elses broken phone and try to make one of the work at some point but its not high on the list.

Is there anything else I can do with the phone in the mean time?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidju:
Just got my GTab and I freaking love it. I have TnT Lite 4.3.1 installed and it is great. I have a few questions and I would appreciate some help/suggestions.

1) I am running into problems resuming use after putting the tab to sleep. Most of the time it either reboots or it opens sluggishly and the menu pops up that prompts Shut down, etc. I've read some about this in the forums. What is the best method to fix this issue?

2) I have been using VitalPlayer but I for the life of me can't find a way to browse my sd card. The app allows me to browse the phone's main memory but i can't find the videos on my sd card. I have tried changing to "root directory" in the app settings but to no avail.

3) I am using launcher pro and it flies, except when opening and closing the app drawer. Are there any memory settings that you guys have found that optimize performance on the GTab?

Thanks for everything, this community is great.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
1) - You may want to do some searching/reading in the dev section on Sleep/Wake issues. The stock kernel seems to have some issues here. TNTL is meant to stay close to the stock TNT image, only removing some bloat and making it a bit cleaner. Thus, Roebeet stays with the stock kernel.

Look at loading Clemsyn's or Pershoot's kernels. They seems to have this fixed, along with a host of other goodies/add-ons.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Butch1326:
If you want to stick with TnT Lite, there is a program from the Android Market you can download called Tap Tap Power Widget. Install the widget, and use it to power down your gtab. Use the gtab's power button to start it up again. Using the Tap Tap Power Widget, I haven't had any sleep/wake issues.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidju:
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried a new kernel and it is great so far. I still can't figure out VitalPlayer. It only shows the main system memory no matter what I try.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
The sleep issue is affecting some users, and I did add a caveat to my TNTL first post.

I can replicate it when trying to manually put the device to sleep. It could be the mix of 3588 kernel and 3991 system.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidju:
Thanks for the replies! I have everything figured out except for VitalPlayer. It will not find my actual SD card! I don't want to store all my videos on my Tab's main memory! Has anyone else had this problem?

Also I tried VitalPlayer Pro from the market and it wouldn't open so I had to refund. Any solutions?
